Zeke reappeared in a tree above the island in the lake. A fair enough challenge for the Gerudos first training session. If she wastes her energy trying to find him she'll collapse during her next session. Some may consider this training cruel but this was the way of his people. Never back down and show no weakness to anyone, he would teach this to Ryli in due time.

Ryli panted as she ran up to the tree where Master was standing. "Is....that.....all.....you've.....got?" She had no idea how she could take any more of this, but she wasn't going to let the Sheikah know that. She had to stay strong, and take whatever he had to throw at her if she ever wanted to change her life and defend the Royal Family. She tried, in vain, to slow her breathing. To hide her rapidly rising and falling chest, she stood up straight and proud and crossed her arms in front of her chest. She looked up at him and waited for Master to torture her some more.

When Zeke saw Ryli running up to the tree out of breath he almost felt bad for what he had to do next. "Tired already Gerudo?" Zeke said with a bit of a laugh. He then did a corkscrew jump off of the tree landing behind her facing her. "Now you fight me..." he said, then hit her with part of his wrist in the back of her head which knocked her out cold. Zeke then caught her as she fell to the ground so that no more damage was caused...

Ryli blinked a few times. She saw Master standing over her. Did he look worried? No, he couldn't, he doesn't seem like the type who'd be worried about her.... Nobody ever worried about her... She was the outcast in her own tribe, so why would he care for her welfare at all. Her head pounded, and she felt extremely embarrassed that he'd be able to win so easy. "Nice going, Master. I should have done better. I'm sorry...." Her voice was hoarse and pathetic, causing her to get even more embarrassed. She knew she was blushing.

Once Ryli had finished speaking Zeke knelt down next to her and looked at her. "No apologys needed Ryli..." he said to her, in a kind voice. He rose again and extended his hand to her helping her up from the ground. "Don't get dis-heartened but I knew this would happen," he concluded. What she didn't know and what he wouldn't tell her is that the same had happened to him when he went against his master.

She grabbed his hand and gave him a weak smile. She pulled herself up and swayed because she was still really dizzy. She still had Master's hand and used that to regain her balance, which just embarrassed her further. Ryli let go and stepped back. "Thank you, Master. I need to try to judge my opponent's next move. Can I try that fight again?" She knew she was in no condition to fight, but she had to try anyway to redeem herself. Even if she lost, she'd be showing him the Gerudo fighting spirit.

Zeke watched the dizzyness in Rylis movement as she stood. He was a bit shocked when she asked to do the fight again, maybe she did know to never back down. A bit reluctantly he nodded and said, "Yes we'll try again." He knew that with the strength she had it was possible she'd knock herself out if she made a move so he stood there and waited for her to attack him.

Ryli had never fought without her sword before. She took a deep breath, bent her knees, and raised her fists. She was flexible, and knew her best bet would be to kick him rather than punch, because she'd been told countless times that her punches did little damage. She edged just in range of Master, then swung her right leg from behind her around to where her heel was aimed at the Sheikah's head.

Zeke watched in Rylis eyes to determine how she would attack. Once it was clear she was about to swing her heel into his head he raised his right arm up in time to block her attack. Once he had blocked it he dropped down and delivered a sweep kick to the back of her leg causing her to fall to the ground. Seeing that she was still conscious he extended his arm toward her. "Care to try again...?"

She took his hand and got up, frustrated now. Her golden eyes blazed and she took the stance again. Ryli looked at him and wondered how he could be so patient with her. She was an embarrassment to the Gerudo and now the Sheikah as well! Her eyes narrowed. "Yes, I'd like to try again," she said through gritted teeth. She threw a punch towards his stomach.

This time seeing that it was a weak punch Zeke let it hit him and it caused little damage if any. This time Zeke decided to be a little less merciful and sent a kick to the Gerudos head. Possibly by sheer loss of stamina Ryli ducked the kick, but when she rose back up Zekes leg had come back to the ground and in that split second he sent another blow at Rylis head which connected knocking her out cold yet again. Like before Zeke caught her in mid fall...

Ryli opened her eyes, and Zeke had her above the ground. This time, she wasn't strong enough to pick herself up and keep fighting. "Can you give me some fighting tips BEFORE we fight this time so I can avoid getting knocked out?" She said weakly. She tried to smile, but she knew it looked pathetic. She hoped he'd understand that she had never had this sort of training before.

Zeke looked down at Ryli when she spoke and nodded at her. "As I'm sure you've noticed by now Sheikah and Gerudo training are very different," he said to her. "Sheikah are merciless, but I can see that you may be able to master it...Once your rested we'll go through a couple of evading drills that way you can learn to dodge or block better." When he had seen her dodge his kick he knew that the potential was there, and he would unlock it.

Ryli smiled bigger than she had all day, relieved to finally have a break. "Thank you, and I'm sorry I did so terrible. You were right, Gerudo training is very different. To be honest, my tribe, even my own mother, hated me, so I did not receive top-notch training there either. The other Gerudo would have put up a much more of a fight." She sighed. "I just hope I can make up for lost time. I don't want to disappoint you too."

"You didn't do terrible Ryli, even if you did recieve top notch Gerudo training this would still happen." Zeke said looking at her. "You won't disappojnt me, and theres no time lost. In truth were making good pace." He concluded. With this pace in about 2 months she'd nearly be up to his level.
